Organization

I saw this idea on Pinterest and thought it was so cute. I had to order the prints from etsy. Here is a link to the ones that I used, but there are many more available http://www.etsy.com/listing/92810140/child-message-center-red-damask-16x20? I bought the frames at Old Time Pottery. The wooden blocks, hooks, and spray paint were purchased at Hobby Lobby. Since I don't have a Cricut, and don't think I would use it much if I did, I bought the letters at Michael's and stuck them to the outside of the frame since they have some dimension to them.


I purchased clips from Walmart and  hot glued them to the glass to hold important papers.


Time Out Glitter Bottles

Here is another project I saw on Pinterest that I thought was a cute idea. I made these about 3/4 full with warm water at night and they seemed to settle very fast and I was worried! I didn't want my kids taking 2 minute time outs! lol I shook them in the morning and they did slow down quite a bit. It takes them between 7-8 minutes to settle. I just used a few globs of the tacky glue in each bottle. I do plan on changing the lids because I don't want my kids thinking they can drink them, but these were the only smart water bottles available at the time.

 The glitter, glitter glue and tacky glue were all purchased at Hobby Lobby.


Pinterest Projects

So I am totally addicted to Pinterest and I have seen a lot of awesome ideas on the site. It actually gives me inspiration to recreate some of the projects that I "think" I can do myself. One of the first I saw was a makeup board and someone was selling them on etsy for $30 for an 8x10. I couldn't find any sheet metal to buy, so I asked my Dad and he had some he cut to fit the frame. I got the frame and fabric from Hobby Lobby and the magnets and bin from Amazon.
